Surrealism was developed in the 20th century, it is a style of art and literature which stresses the non-rational significance of imagery or the subconscious use of imagery. This is portrayed by the involuntary action of chance-effects and unexpected juxtapositions.
Surrealism aims to show what can be relived in dreams where the mind is free of conscious and conventions. Surrealism came from Dada, dadaists would create obscene art as they didn't like the society they were living in.
There are two broad types of surrealism, the early work by artists such as Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte and the later performed by such artists as Max Ernst and Joan Miro.
The Surrealist movement was founded in Paris in 1924 by Andre Breton. He began a Surrealist Manifesto in which the aim was to reveal the unconscious and reconcile with rational life.
Through the years Surrealism has been aimed at social and political revolutions.
Here are some different surrealistic artwork by Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Max Ernst and Joan Miro.
